Ebi Andrew, a 13-year-old prodigal son, reportedly stabbed his 20-year-old elder brother Tarikebina Andrew to death after they got into an argument.

According to reports, Ebi Andrew had been sleeping outside with friends, which prompted his elder brother to approach him to convince him to go back home.

However, it resulted in an argument following Ebi’s reluctance to go back home. Meanwhile, in the middle of the argument, Ebi reportedly dashed into his friend’s kitchen, grabbed a knife and used it to stab Tarikebina.

The injured man was subsequently rushed to the hospital; however, he couldn’t make it as he was pronounced dead consequent of the internal injury he sustained from the stab.
